Thread: Crappie nibbles.. Seriously do they work?

I love the nibblets and the gulp minnows. If the bite is slow they are my go to baits. Never leave home without the chart sparkles. If it is cold out, much nicer on the hands than fooling with minnows to tip the jigs. I don't care much for gloves.

Don't leave home without them. I agree there are days they might not make much difference. But I think they do make a difference on days they are interested but a little hesitant in taking your bait. Try drying them out a little before using them, they will stay on your hook longer.

I tried this at home one time when my wife wasn't there. I put them in a pie tin in a back room with a fan blowing on them and closed the door. About thirty minutes later my wife got home and was walking down the hallway when she says, "what is that smell?" When she opened the door, the smell took her breath away but not before yelling, "what are you doing?" Priceless!!

I carry a heavy duty syringe that works great with nibbles the opening is fairly large so it works best with bigger baits like my pickpocket's or umbrella tubes,I am a believer in nibbles so much so i designed the pickpocket so that it could be injected with any type paste bait(need to try gewbers)i'm not saying i use them at all times but when things are tough i will use them and in my opinion they do help.

they do work for me

I have them in the boat and use them from time to time, can't tell any difference with or without them. I fish mostly in cooler water, late November through mid March, maybe they work better in warmer water.

I don't know about crappie but the pink ones really attract my little daughter into a few fishing trips with me!

I'm with Pop, i have tried the nibbles but never had success keeping them in or on my bait but the gulp minnows are a differant story, they are always in my boat. Took my father in law out one day and he was using live minnows all I was doing was putting the gulp minnows on a red 1/8 ounce jig head and bouncing it slowing on botom as I retreived it, they were killing it. Made a beleiver out of him and thats not easy to to do.

I have caught a bunch on gulp minnows. Never buy live bait and if I feel like I need minnows I use gulp.
